Wheeler did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 loss to Arizona, yielding two runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

Out of the seven hits the veteran right-hander allowed, only one went for extra bases -- a 393-foot solo homer by Joc Pederson in the third inning. With this 100-pitch outing, Wheeler collected his 17th quality start of the season and posted his sixth consecutive start with six or more punchouts. Over those six appearances, he has pitched to a 2.92 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 44:12 K:BB across 37 innings, despite coughing up seven runs July 29 against the Yankees. The 34-year-old lines up to make his next start against the Nationals at home next week.
